Fleshwarped Strikes Acid Cabalist

Hello!

First of all, Grim tools link

Long story short. Right now I’m finishing this build and I’m not sure about how optimal some of my choices are.

1.2.5k sheet DA, but with -450 OA debuffs. Should I swap some items to get more DA (especially if I’m going to try Crucible)?
2.Devotions. I took 2 points into Jackal instead of finishing Manticore, 'cuz I already have flat RR from the MI and I presume, that in this case 6% total speed is more efficient. Is it actually so in this case?
3.WPS. Reaping Strike is totally fine both for damage (cuz converison) and survivability, but I doubt the effectiveness of necrotic edge in my current setup. Should I leave it be or is it really a loss?

Thanks in advance for your help, critique and answers!

EDIT: WHOOOOPS! I just noticed, that I have Mark of the Traveler on my boots. I’ll swap it to Mark of Mogdrogen ASAP

Nice build.For auto attacker you should take Necrotic edge,cause it’s dps gain.Maybe put points until stop increasing chance to be used.OA reduce it’s. good,but depends how well is used against enemies.Btw,why you need Manticore in first place?

Acid build and flat resistance reduction. But he do have flat rr from the weapon already.

OP: have you thought about this belt instead? https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/9075 will give you a nice OA boost and energy leech

Thanks!

Right now Necrotic edge is on 9/12, wich gives 25% chance, it’s the maximum. But it’s an acid build and I’m not sure whether it’s still a dps gain in this build

Yup, that’s the problem. A build without any movement skills and such a low DA will be rather vulnerable for casters and rangers. Moreover, -OA debuffs are not the most reliable source of defence and I doubt, that 2.5k DA will be enough to survive severe hits (with armor and HP that low)

Flat RR and acid/poison dmg on proc + acid/poison % dmg and other stats on nodes

Indeed I have, but it’ll require more itemization tweaks to get more ele/chaos resistance — and right now I’m not sure, where should I get those missing resistances. And, btw, those two points in blood of dreeg provide ~1k sheet DPS

Yes, but don’t you wanna crit? You also get one more rank CoF modifier

Your chaos res seems fine even if you swap belt.

Change belt component to spellscourge for the elemental res

I just changed the belt and component

almost same wpn attack stats, but several hundreds higher OA

I want to survive as well :smiley:
I got some overcapped resistances to somehow (even a little) compensate low DA.
AND even if I’ll try to get more OA, the next threshold is 3k, not 2.9
